c. The proportion of buyers who actually make a purchase appears to be relatively constant over time. In 2015, among a sample of 389 on-line buyers, 159 purchased merchandise. In 2019, for a sample of 301 on-line buyers, 138 purchased merchandise. At the .05 level of significance, did the proportion of on-line buyers change from 2015 to 2019?
A group of students in experimental lab are wanting to see if the average psychology major at a university has the same level of psychological knowledge as the general population. They assess 31 psychology majors using an overall psychology assessment and calculate a mean score of 20.91 and a standard deviation of 1.63. They know the general population has a mean score on this test of 18.32. The students think that psychology majors will know more about psychology than the general population. Name the: 1) independent variable 2) scaling for independent variable 3) dependant variable 4) scaling for dependent variable Answer the following questions: 5) can random Selection be used, explain 6) can random assignment be used, explain 7) based on what you know what statistical test should the students use to examine their hypothesis? 8) why is that test most appropriate? 9) what are the assumptions of this test? 10) what is the Null and alternative hypothesis? 11) what is/are the…

Jump to... Which one of the following statements about the distribution of the sample proportion is false? Select one: a. The distribution of the sample proportion is approximately normal for large sample sizes. b. The mean of the sample proportion is equal to the population proportion of successes, p. c. The variance of the sample proportion always decreases as the population proportion of successes decreases. d. The variance of the sample proportion is equal to p(1-p) divided by the sample size, n. e. As the population proportion increases, the mean of the sample proportion increases. Previous page Nex

A random sample of 50 plants was selected from a field containing one-year-old plants of a variety of guayule, a plant species yielding rubber. Of the 50, 25 were classified as Normal (N), 14 were classified as Off-type (O) and 11 as Aberrant (A). The data on the following page show the percentage rubber content from each plant. Normal Off-type Aberrant 6.34 6.40 5.70 4.84 5.01 6.20 4.25 8.90 6.93 6.38 6.68 7.10 6.42 7.26 7.29 6.30 7.01 6-84 7.12 6.83 7.31 7.25 6.86 6.68 5.82 4.46 7.70 5.90 5.24 5.58 6.36 7.10 6.81 7.32 6.48 5.88 5.24 5.51 7.00 6.42 6.20 6.04 5.58 4.72 7.42 7-27 6.43 6-10 6-01 7.90 (a) Test the null hypothesis that there is no difference in mean rubber content between the three types of plant.

Example 5: Find a 90% confidence interval for the mean difference in the mileage obtained for tires with the new material and tires with the old material. Following are the paired differences (new minus old) for each of the 17 riders, chosen at random, who took part in the experiment: 50, 45, 50, 50, 100, 100, 100, -10, 75, -25, 0, 25, 75, 25, 50, 40, 35
A researcher selects a sample of 6 men and 11 women. She asks participants to rate the likelihood they would do female-stereotyped jobs (such as nursing or school teaching) on a scale from 1 = not likely at all to 5 = very likely. Men indicated that they would be less likely to do these jobs (M = 2.1) compared with women (M = 4.3). What is the weighted mean for the combined sample of 17 total participants? O O 2.1 4.3 3.2 3.5
